Kremlin Award Classic Vodka

Black Russian

The Black Russian is a two-ingredient classic — vodka and coffee liqueur over ice, stirred gently. Bold, bitter-sweet, and coffee-rich, it's a strong, grown-up cocktail that lets the coffee liqueur do the talking. Add cream and it becomes a White Russian.

Bloody Mary

The Bloody Mary is vodka's most complex cocktail — tomato juice, lemon, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and celery salt transform the spirit into a savoury, spicy, deeply satisfying drink. The ultimate brunch cocktail and one of the best hangover cures known to bartenders.

Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan — vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and lime — is the cocktail that defined an era. Pink, tart, slightly sweet, and impeccably balanced, it's still one of the most elegant vodka cocktails you can order. Shake hard and strain into a chilled glass.

Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is vodka's most iconic cocktail — served in a copper mug with ginger beer and fresh lime juice. Spicy, citrusy, and ice-cold, the copper mug keeps it perfectly chilled. A refreshing vodka cocktail that never goes out of fashion.

Screwdriver

The Screwdriver is the most straightforward vodka cocktail — spirit poured over ice and topped with orange juice, garnished with a slice. Simple, bright, and citrusy, it's the reliable all-rounder of the vodka world. Use fresh-squeezed OJ for a real upgrade.

Sea Breeze

The Sea Breeze combines vodka with cranberry and grapefruit juice for a tart, refreshing cocktail that's tangy, fruity, and easy to love. Light, low-effort, and crowd-pleasing — it's a brilliant warm-weather vodka drink that needs almost no preparation.

Vodka Martini

The Vodka Martini is the modern classic — vodka stirred or shaken with dry vermouth, served ice-cold in a chilled glass with an olive. Clean, crisp, and bracingly strong, it showcases vodka's character at its purest. Shaken or stirred — the debate never ends.

Vodka Sour

The Vodka Sour shakes vodka with lemon juice and simple syrup for a clean, tart cocktail that showcases the spirit's neutrality against citrus. Crisp and sharp, with none of the heaviness of a whisky sour — a lighter, brighter alternative worth trying.

Vodka Tonic

Vodka Tonic is clean, crisp, and endlessly refreshing — vodka topped with tonic water and a lime slice over ice. Light, slightly bitter, and low-effort to make, it's the perfect midweek drink or patio session cocktail. Use good tonic for the best result.

White Russian

The White Russian layers vodka and coffee liqueur with cream for a rich, indulgent cocktail that's silky smooth with deep coffee flavour. Dessert in a glass — sweet, boozy, and surprisingly easy to make. Stir gently to keep the layers visible.
